Heidi Hollingsworth, assistant professor and program coordinator for Early Childhood Education, presented May 1 at the National Smart Start Conference in Greensboro, N.C. Hollingsworth’s presentation was based on research conducted along with Marna Winter, Lecturer in Education, and was titled “Support of Preschoolers’ Social-Emotional Behaviors and Skills.”
The conference session engaged practitioners, administrators, behavior intervention team members and early childhood professional development providers in conversations about key social-emotional behaviors and skills for preschoolers, and about adult roles in promoting children’s development of social-emotional competence, particularly for children with or at risk for delays in development of social-emotional skills.
